"Hehe, it's just a boring trick between mortals!" The Tang dynasty itself, somewhere in the manor. Three or five wizards in black robes were gathering together at this moment, looking at the dynamic newspaper in their hands and the peace treaty on the headline, and smiling disdainfully.

"Mortals can't compare to our wizards, the war between them, I only need a bottle of potion to help them wipe out their serious overpopulation!" A wizard with a sinister appearance, said with a strange smile. His withered palms, his long, curved nails, clutched a crystal ball. The ball was full of mist, constantly fluttering back and forth in the crystal ball.

"Hehe, it looks like you've collected a lot of souls in this mortal war!" A wizard glanced at the crystal ball and said with a slight meaning, "That group of nobles in the council will not allow the souls of their own people to be collected!" This is a problem that is not tolerated by the law, and you should not have done it! ”

The sorcerer glanced at the crystal ball and smiled gloomily, "The mystery of the soul is truly wonderful, and it has been five hundred years since I started as an apprentice with my mentor. I still haven't delved into one ten-thousandth of the mystery of my soul, but the more I delve into it, the more obsessed I become. The truth is above, and the mystery in the soul is probably something I can only ask about the legendary witch god! ”

"As for the council, it's a bunch of stubborn old guys who deserve hell!" He said angrily and disdainfully, "Mortals, how can they be compared to our noble wizards? How can mortals be the same race as us wizards? They are just a bunch of lowly pariahs, and it should be their honor to be led by a wizard! ”

"It's just that the old guys in the council don't allow wizards to interfere with secular power. Otherwise, this country should have been handed over to us wizards a long time ago! Under the leadership of the wizard, this flock of sheep can be sublimated! ”

When his companions heard him say this, they each laughed and said, "I'm afraid that the legend left by the witch god thousands of years ago has made the old guys of the council in awe, and they don't dare to be presumptuous until now." The royal family of the country is said to be his only bloodline, and the same is true of the teachings we believe in. In the face of thousands of years of deep-rooted concept inheritance, the group of old guys in the council alone would not dare to provoke the legendary witch god! Moreover, it is said that the secret of calling the sacred beast of Zhenguo was passed down by word of mouth only by the kings of the past dynasties. ”

"So what?" The sorcerer of the Yin Owl looked disdainful, "According to my historical records and legends, the supreme witch god is just a fourth-level wizard. Even in some places, not as good as me! I fear Him, but what can I do if I don't fear Him? A fourth-level wizard doesn't have a thousand-year lifespan! He is already an ancient, what is he capable of coming to me? Could it be that he can still come back from the dead? ”

His companion retorted to him, "The lands of this country are said to have been scattered among themselves. It's because of the witch god that the scattered lands are brought together. The ensuing upheaval has increased the land area nearly tenfold. Not to mention anything else, this ability alone is not available to all of you here. Even if they gather all the wizards, they don't have the ability to gather scattered lands. Not to mention, to multiply the area of the land! The so-called Zhenguo Divine Beast, according to legend, is a dragon with three heads, which appeared when the canal was opened. Since then, the mythical beast has not been seen again, and legend has it that it sleeps in a sea area. Quietly waiting for the king to wake it up, or maybe it ......"

"It's already dead!" The sorcerer of the Yin Owl laughed strangely, "Whether it is a legendary witch god or a legendary beast, they have too many secrets hidden in them!" If I can decipher him, or expose the so-called witch god, it's just a joke. Then I ......"

"You're really crazy, you want to break the beliefs and totems that have been revered for thousands of years!"

"Wizards have no faith, and legend ...... It's for latecomers to break! ”

……

The decade-long tragic war is over, and this large-scale and rare war will be forever recorded in the annals of history. Whatever the reason for the starting point of this war, no matter how many high-sounding reasons countries put into the starting point of this war. Whether the war was fought from land to sea, from the sea to the New World, nations fought against each other in various places. There are also various kinds of shopping between colonial territories. All in all, the war was completely over from the moment the peace treaty was concluded.

The coordination of interests between various countries began, and each country lost something to a greater or lesser extent, and gained something. Because this is a war in which there is no real winner, and the countries on their own soil also preach that the other side is the loser and that they are the winners. But in any case, the war is over after all. The Tang also relaxed their grip on the Suez Canal, opened several openings, and allowed several countries to enter. But it is only for big and powerful countries, and as for the interests of those small countries, they are all unanimously ignored by all countries.

Although because of the New World, the high prosperity of overseas trade stimulated all walks of life on all continents. As a result, from the state to the common people, they all benefited greatly from the prosperous maritime trade. However, small countries are still not half as good as real big powers. In the game game of big and powerful countries, the rights and interests of small countries naturally cannot be taken care of.

Every big and powerful country has to recover some of its losses in the body of a small country. They have paid for their personnel, spent their money, and served great and powerful countries, and they have received only a small reward, even a verbal reward. What is left behind are broken families that have lost their children and fathers, and the country's economy that has been hit hard.

And the interests of the great nobles, the big merchants, and the royal family not only did not lose in this war, but increased. In the peaceful environment that followed, they stepped up their time to exploit and exploit the country. Leave behind a thriving market and a commoner class that can't get rich no matter how hard you try!

At this time, both the European countries and the Tang people are seizing the time to restore their strength. Not only should the offensive and defensive forces of the homeland be strengthened, but also the forces patrolling the various colonial territories. At one time, the government's finances are throwing money at home, buying weapons, clothing, medicines, food, timber and other resources from the market. While enriching a large group of people, it has once again prospered the country's economy. At the same time, in the shipyard, the manufacturing plan of one warship after another was quickly launched, and related industries began to prosper rapidly. The finished things are completed one by one, and the warships are quickly manufactured, launched, and delivered to the navy. At the same time, the Army is also recruiting.

For the army stationed on the mainland, the criteria for selecting personnel are naturally one in a hundred. For the army in the colonial territories, the rogue ruffians and petty thieves were selected and transported to the colonies after a period of training. Whether it's poachers, smugglers, or indigenous peoples, or participating in the suppression of rebellions.

At the same time, hostilities against States are being carried out, or rather, from the beginning to the end of the war, which has never ceased. Each country acts as a pirate to a greater or lesser extent at a given time. Attacking the merchant ships of other countries, looting and plundering, the number of pirates in various seas is outrageous. Among them are unprofessional pirates played by the navy, there are also pirates with cameo appearances by merchants, and there are also real professional pirates. They are entrenched on hidden islands and blatant pirate ports, peddling routes and information to and from merchant ships. There were even daring pirates, colluding in droves, to openly land and rob state-run port colonies.

Such a blatant act naturally provoked the anger of various countries, and the encirclement and suppression of pirates was also to strengthen the military power of a certain sea area. Basically, it's a tacit thing for all countries. As a result, various countries have brazenly strengthened their naval and land forces in various sea areas, competing openly and covertly, or simply pretending to be ignorant of it!
